I'm using #6 shielded grounding wire to go down inside wall then coming out to a rod in corner by bricks and continuing on outside attached to house around corner going 6 feet away to 2nd grounding rod. Is there a box or something I need to install where ground wire comes out of stucco or do I just fill around it with fire caulk or? thank you for all the help everyone. You all make me proud to be an electrician. Also how much do I leave the ground rod sticking up out of slab and do I need to put anykind of sleeve around the rod where it goes thru the concrete? I'm in southern California.

No need for a j-box you can just fire caulk the hole. Be sure and strap down the ground wire. Ground rods should be driven completely into the ground, most AHJ let you leave a few inches above the soil to make the ground connection.
